The Hidden Patterns of the New Hit TV Hour Pilot Stories in 2018 OnDemand Webinar
ABOUT THE WEBINAR
TV is on fire, with literally a thousand shows going into production in the next several years. To create original content in this kind of market, you first need to understand what this roaring market is looking for and how things have changed. It's more than 'specs are out, and pilots are in.' It's about particular structures and characters and their stoyrlines. This webinar shows you those new structures and characters-and much more.
Creating an original pilot in a serial show is different from a mini-series pilot. This webinar will talk about both-and show you the big powerful engines at the heart of them. There are also are different kinds of loglines for these different kinds of TV stories.
Peter Russell has sold two TV pilots in 2017, and is consulting on several TV projects right now. He's a longtime story doctor in Hollywood who not only teaches (teacher of the year at UCLA in 2008) but also sells in today's television market.
